These wilted flowers on top of the stage Stand like a token of shame All conquered towers and mountains of faith Seem so much smaller today I'm afraid It's harder to breathe way up here Up this high I can't bear the weight of my gray cloud It's harder to see you down there Through my gray cloud My gray cloud Ten thousand hours in over my head Another triumph away Thought we would make it, but I was misled See you my friend by the gates I can't stay It's harder to breathe way up here Up this high I can't bear the weight of my gray cloud It's harder to see you down there Through my gray cloud I just want to let some Sun shine in Through my gray cloud I still long for something new It's harder to breathe way up here Up this high I can't bear the weight of my gray cloud It's harder to see you down there Through my gray cloud
